MissM said:Yeah, I'm not a big fan of them. Too restrictive and too many "extras" that you have to pay for now that you didn't used to. (Like, getting them to not expire on you. To me, that's crap. If I pay for tickets, it's up to me to decide when to use them, not let them basically take my money and not give me the service I paid for.)
Dunno, I don't like them. But I'm also not their target audience. I'm a FL resident who'd get an AP waaaay before I'd shell out for limited single-day tickets.

Bronson said:What about those of us who stay longer than 7 days? You can no longer book a hotel/Magic Your Way package for more than 8 days. It was suggested I book for 7 and purchase the water park option to fill in the other days. How many hours would you spend at Typhoon Lagoon? After that all you can do it hang around the hotel pool on into the night. I used to visit Pleasue Island every night. One of the things a vacation should be is relaxing and free of as many restrictions as possible. We used to be able to do and go wherever we pleased as many times as we wanted on a moments notice. If you stay longer than 7 days you are really restricted. It was also suggested I book two back to back seven day trips instead. The cost does not more. The only benifit I see is less crowded parks in the evening and more crowded hotel pools filled with people who don't want to waste a days entry just for the fireworks. I'm all for paying a fair price and assume an annual increase. What I don't like is no longer feeling like their "guest". You don't restrict guests movements when they visit your home do you?
MissM said:Saying you're not paying extra but rather paying for what you want is just blanent marketing spin. Come on. Really now.Stop being the Disney sales for half a moment, ya know? It's a good deal for some yes, but it's needlessly complicated and more then just a smidge insulting. Everything a la cart just means you get a lot less to start with. It's like the local steakary that charges extra for a side dish and claiming most people come for the steak anyway, so there's no point in including the side for the base price.
